Entry DescriptionREV Hydro is a full exterior-grade recessed downlight with IP65 protection and a fully concealed body blocking water, dust, and insects. Delivering up to 7,200 lumens at 90W from a compact 6" aperture, it provides high-output performance for outdoor ceilings while maintaining a clean architectural presence. Its innovation and category-leading capabilities were recognized in the 2025 IES Progress Report.
Engineered with a triple-layer sealing system, REV Hydro delivers superior waterproof protection. Its one-piece aluminum unibody provides a solid foundation, while a stainless steel glass rim with an O-ring gasket blocks water, dust, and insects. Pressure-sealed optics with a precision silicone gasket lock the light engine to the housing, ensuring maximum protection and reliability. Optional marine-grade finishes enhance durability in coastal or saltwater environments.
An optional Airtight configuration (ASTM E283 compliant) makes REV Hydro suitable for hospitals, clean rooms, laboratories, and climate-controlled spaces. Archi-ColorĀ® W+RGB enables dynamic color change, and a downlight-to-cylinder kit allows conversion into a pendant while maintaining waterproof integrity. Flexible mounting options, including stem or adjustable cable, ensure adaptability to diverse design requirements. These features make REV Hydro a complete solution for technical and architectural spaces.
